Technical Service Bulletins for A5/S5

SDS5 · 4th February 2009, 10:45 PM

Attached is a list of TSB for the A5/S5 - its not a complete list, but hopefully it will be of use to forum members.

ps; don't bug me for updates/explanations please

SAJ_1982 · 4th February 2009, 11:00 PM

Thanks.

Rab88 · 4th February 2009, 11:57 PM

hmm... so does this mean that if we experience any of the problems on that list, we're entitled to take the car back to the dealership and have it rectified?

In my browser, I right click on the attachment and open as a new tab. It then prompts me to either (i) save it as a pdf or (ii) open using Adobe.

Then again, I use Mozilla Firefox as my browser ....

morski · 5th February 2009, 08:22 AM

How can we check if these bulletins will cover the UK & European market?

F1isbest · 6th February 2009, 11:23 AM

My A5 has the windshield wiper streaking problem. Thanks for posting the TSB.

Greeney · 6th February 2009, 03:16 PM

Great thread!

kalamaloo · 6th February 2009, 09:01 PM

Thank you! I have that problem, like everyone, where the door rattles when playing a song with a certain bass frequency. I explained that to the Audi Dealer and showed them numerous forums, but refused to fix it. They lied, and told me there were no TSBs on that issue and it wasn't covered in the warranty. I'm definitely going to bitch at them the next time.

Interesting thing to note, only dealers in the United States refuse to fix this issue while European owners get this fixed immediately.

Let me know how it plays out for you, as I am in the middle of this BS too

yntski · 20th February 2009, 10:13 AM

Thanks for posting, I thought I was nuts about the steering wheel shimmy/oscillation.

aracka · 23rd February 2009, 11:43 AM

anyone actually take in their S5 to fix the "iphone" problem? i know on the forum people mentioned some complicated method to fix this, but was wondering what exactly the TSB does?

Rab88 · 23rd February 2009, 12:51 PM

I'll sticky this thread for the timebeing, it's very useful!

Can you describe your steering shimmy to me. I have odd steering behaviour since new but nobody will admit there is a problem with it

yntski · 13th March 2009, 09:16 AM

There are many threads concerning this subject. But my problem is that at 60-60 MPH (US) my steering will will shimmy (they call it oscallation -- according the the TSB). I see it more during acceleration than deceleration. It does it whether the tires are cold or warm.

I am bringing it to the dealer on Monday for the first time (I have 900 miles on it). So I don't know whether or not they will acknowledge the problem. But I will let them know that there is a TSB on it.

SEE MY UPDATE ON POST NUMBER 186 IN THE VIBRATION ISSUES THREAD.

Anyone know the Consumer phone number for Audi support?

I don't understand... My car has this problem too and I tried to convince the dealer there is a problem... I do not see anything that mentions this in the TSB list... Am I missing something?

chrispa · 21st May 2009, 11:43 AM

nice work. Thanks for posting. My A5 seems to contain a shed load of those 'rattles'! It's going back Tuesday anyway for more diagnosis and fixes.

Meteor Ghost · 1st June 2009, 01:07 PM

For some reason I can't see many attached photos on this forum. I have and use a brand new aluminum unibody Macbook 2.4GHz.

XXX_A5 · 1st June 2009, 01:44 PM

same here, just happened recently.
I've looked at the attached pdf in this thread a couple days ago just fine

Yeah, I believe the problem may have something to do with the server upgrade that Andrew (site admin) performed over the weekend. I've already sent him a PM about it, but I don't think he's checked it yet.

XXX_A5 · 2nd June 2009, 10:45 AM

now it's working fine again for me, thanks

Alkivar · 12th June 2009, 04:51 PM

is anyone able to post updates to the TSB list in this thread? Would be nice to have the 2009 entries

kyle · 13th June 2009, 07:38 AM

RVU 24F3 - SVM Update, S5 (2008-2009) and R8 (2008-2009) - June 1, 2009

This RVU has been proactively released to prevent the following condition from occurring in the vehicle:

Vehicles may not meet IM Inspection test parameters in states that require a 2500 RPM steady engine speed to be held for a given time period.

Meteor Ghost · 13th June 2009, 11:29 AM

I would be nice to actually see what the TSB's fixes because I'm not sure if some of you have seen some TSB's before but sometimes even though they are listed as a TSB the fix sometimes just say that this is normal operation and there is no fix.

Could someone actually post as to what is actually fixed during the TSB's? That way some of use could actually fix them ourselves.

There was a TSB that I had on my last car and it had to do with the Bose stereo, the TSB was posted and you could actually read what the Audi Technician was supposed to do to fix the problem but you could actually fix it yourself.

1000songs · 18th June 2009, 07:47 AM

Here is the TSB referred to here: http://www.a5oc.com/forums/showpost.php?p=84853

This is an ECM update for rough idle complaints. It has completely eliminated all of the godawful anti-stall programming that has plagued the 6MT.

Europa · 18th June 2009, 10:07 AM

Awesome. My car is at the doc right now getting this.

SDS5 · 18th June 2009, 09:30 PM
